well so far as i know i have no helathcare and don't llive in a gated community so i can assure you i'm not a convict
seriosuly though, dont' knock it till you try it. unless you got a better idea for a base for chili.

not to pat my own back much, but i just made the most ass kicking chili ever!! ofcourse its not my normal gem of noxious gas producing stick to your bones grub, but its ranking up there.
only downfalls this time, not much heat and its a wee bit soupy. nothing that can't be solved with some rice, crackers and tabasco sauce
okay so down to the nitty gritty of this kickin kitty, heres whatcha need to cook it; prep time is about 30 mins, cook time is atleast 4 hrs, but it gets better the longer you cook it.
